Weineck Cobra Limited Edition
The Weineck Cobra Limited Edition is a supercar built by Weineck Engineering, a German car manufacturer. Weineck Cobra's body is a modified Shelby Cobra replica body.
The engine used in Weineck, is a proprietary Weineck V8, though its parts were manufactured by Donovan Engineering. It used an entirely unique Tube chassis, because the original Shelby chassis could not hold up to the torque of the motor.[1] The engine cooling system had to be designed in house because chassis no. 4 was ordered by a customer in Dubai.[2]
